I am looking to buy a set of shocks asap.Here is what Im looking at: kings, walker evens, afco mt2, I force F8,F18, and the elka pb36cr. I do alot of fast trail riding, hill climbs, and crawling.Any input would be great as well were I can purchase @ the best price....maybe even a military discount too thanks guys!

The best price that I am aware of for Walker Evans shocks is Badlands

Badlands Off Road Park - Indiana, 4x4, ATV, motorcycle riding, sand dunes, mud pits, rock crawling

866-762-2981
$1400 plus $25 shipping

I really like WER shocks and I would buy them again.

This is a very subjective topic due to riding conditions and what feel YOU are looking for in a shock.
I can tell you I liked the AFCO's over the others because of the way they handle the woops, I felt it left me with the least amount of "buck" and seemed to suck up anything I threw at it.
I'd definately buy them again.

thanks for the input....so are the kings over rated? or the Elkas?

I put bilsteins on my rhino and it made huge! difference. Set up great right out of the box.

I feel the most important factor in deciding which shock to use is how the shocks are valved. There are a lot of rides out there which could ride a lot better if the shocks were dialed in correctly. Do you have a long travel kit or any aftermarket arms for your RZR? Elka provides a great product. You can tell them exactly what your shock angles are and they can prevalve your shocks so all you have to do is dial them in to match your riding style and terrain. I can get you a good deal on Elka's if you are interested. Let me know.

Just got the new issue of "Cartwheelin", they tested 3 or 4 different shocks on the same area. Good reading

Good reading, hell, what we need it good video.

I call bad lands and there out.steve how much can you get the elkas for? I found the bilstiens but they were 2k...ouch!

I think this video says alot about shocks on a stock RZR suspension.

thanks for the link, which afco's are you runnin RZ Rider? the mt2?I really like those....and the elkas but I want a piggy back set up for a good price. the walker evens are a really nice too!

Yeah, the resi's RULE!!
I personally think if you want a properly working suspension (especially over repeated impacts) a resevoir is a must.
I've never felt a properly valved shock even come close to a properly valved resi shock.
Of course if your aren't too tough on suspension a good working non resi shock will do the trick.

It totally depends on what shock you are looking for and what suspension you currently have. Prices range from $1,200 up to $2,900 for the 46mm Elites. You tell me what you are looking for and I'll shoot you a quote.

shocks have been bought...got the Elkas pb36br....there being build right now, and I will have them b4 next weekends ride Ill keep yall posted.
